Shit, Youtube deleted the Oblivions cover (it's on Popular Favorites)

Shannon and the clams are great.

For current EUROAmerican Garage Punk, i would like to mention The Jackets

Thanks, Joe!

Joe said:

I missed one of your criteria - The Monofones aren't American - oops!  Here's a few amazing and relatively new female-fronted bands:

The Woolly Bandits (from Los Angeles, with Sky Saxon's former backing band)

A Giant Dog (Texas)

Persian Claws (Vermont)

The Love Me Nots (Arizona)

And you're probably familiar with Shannon and the Clams.

Now that I think about it,  there's an impressive number of women in the garage punk scene nowadays.

Maybe X Ray Spex's LP came out in  late '77 , tho' I still remember my copy bearinng a 1978 date....Please don't ask me to climb over all the other crap , now forming a barrier where
the W thru Z's are in my record bunker.... I also can't remember names for shit. Was it Paul Dean? I fergit , but another , male sax player graced thE LP. 
John Battles said:

Lora Logic was gone , by the time of X-Ray Spex's first album (She was in the band ca, 76 - 77 , but their first LP did'nt come out 'til 1978.).. She skronked up a storm , tho'.

Logic and Styrene both joined The Hare Krishnas
 , though , it seems Styrene was the more devoted of the two , though , eventually returning to Secular music , in the '90's , with "Conscious Consuner " , X- Ray Spex's  second and final official LP.  Lora Logic also appeared on that CD , and in the "ex - Ray Spex' lineup , which recieved top billing at the Holidays in The SUN FESTIVAL IN '96 , despite Poly Styrene having been ousted from her own band.
Katie Dubz said:

Lora Logic is great! I really enjoy the band she put together after being booted from Spex...Essential Logic!! I think there was a couple dudes that came after her to play sax in X-Ray Spex but neither could match that coltish self-taught sound she brought to their first album.

John Battles said:

 I can't think of that many , besides Mark Lindsay. When The Raiders were still more of a Frat Rock group , he was honkin' his horn a'plenty , and , later on the recited smoocher "Melody For an Unknown Girl.",  already out of date for it's time. I saw Mark in 2001 , and he was wailin' sax on numbers like "You Can't Sit Down" and "Night Train". Of course , The Raiders' "Louie" was more sax - driven , too. I'm not good on names . The Wailers had a couple of great sax players , inc. the guy who played with them in later years , when they stormed the Ponderosa Stomp. He killed !

 

Screamin' Jay played a pretty mean sax , himself , as did Ray Charles. Dave Hill from The Treniers , who's still alive and well , Dave "Bubba" Mitchell , from Milt Trenier's band , also still alive and CRAZY , as he nears his 90th Year , Earl Bostic , Louis Jordan ,  Lonnie Youngblood , The late , great , Sam Butera , Bobby Keyes , of course , Gordon from The Fleshtones , God Rest His Soul , Lora Logic from X- Ray Spex and Red Krayola , and her successor in the first band - Forgot his name - And ,who's the cat from The Pastel Six? I saw him sit in with Sky Saxon and The Seeds , it worked , too ! , Jesse Scinto , who's a younger guy , is keeping the honkin' sax tradition going , but , he does'nt seem to play much , these days....

OK , I GUESS I SHOULD'NT HAVE EXPECTED MUCH IN THE WAY OF RESPONSES. GENERALLY , THE STOMP ANNOUNCES ONE LINE OF ACTS , THEN , SOME OTHERS WHEN THEY'VE CONFIRMED THEM. AS IT STANDS , THIS IS NOT A VERY STRONG LINEUP. EXCLUDING THE STANDELLS , THERE'S REALLY NO HEADLINERS. WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN? THEY'VE HAD SOME AMAZING LINEUPS IN THE PAST, BUT , IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS. I DON'T SEE MYSELF GOING AT THIS POINT.

I will be on the air and the web on Saturday March 23rd playing the usual garage and punk tunes that some of you may like.  You can listen from 1:00-3:00PM EST on 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu.

D'Addario makes some awesome short scale strings. For my recording basses I use their black nylon flatwound strings. For live I use the Xl170S. these are round wound. I prefer flats, but live I use round wound so the bass cuts through more

Who are more cool?

Who would win in a fight?

Heya, you music freaks ! A new compilation is available on my blog. This one is the second part of my good friend Major Tom sonic experiences ! Again, his stuff is mostly from out of space, so you've been warned !

Blocked some time off to maybe make the Funtastic Dracula Fest depending on the lineup, but they moved it to the end of October this year so that's out. Any of these other fests happen in late September / early October?

The comp that John refers to below is called They Rock! They Roll! They Swing!, which had a better track selection and a WAAAAY better cover than the one I supplied the link to. Which was on Sony's budget label.
 
John Battles said:

 around 1995 , when Sony did a great comp

James is right. THE SONG "Poontang" ain't no fluke. 

I'm not gonna get on my high horse with the soapbox saddle , but, I'm gonna tell ya.

NO TRENIERS , NO ROCK'N' ROLL. IT'S NOT ROCKET SURGERY. They started out in 1947 and kept rockin' til 2002 ....THEY'RE THE FIRST , REAL , SELF CONTAINED ROCK'N'ROLL GROUP. YOU'VE GOT WYNONIE HARRIS , LOUIS JORDAN ,  ROY BROWN , BIG JOE TURNER AND THE LIKE , BUT THE TRENIERS HAD THE WHOLE ENCHILADA FOR R'N'R JUST AS THE RAMONES DID FOR PUNK , AS YOU NOTED , dave.

They DID indulge themselves the occasional ballad , as they were working side by side with also - rockin' Louis Prima by the early 50's , in Vegas , Atlantic City , and Wildwood, NJ. , BUT , THEY ALWAYS THREW IN THE OCCASIONAL SLOW SONG , CLIFF TRENIER WAS BILLED AS "THE SEPIA SINATRA" , BUT , HE AND IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER , CLAUDE , WHEN THEY GOT TOGETHER, IT WAS STARK RAVIN' NUTS !!!!  Their Okeh Records material was out of print for centuries. But , around 1995 , when Sony did a great comp , the group started incorporating more of the classic stuff into their set. James and I were both lucky enough to see them , several times , but , their last Chicagoland gig , in 2002 , found an 85 year old Claude pickin' 'em up and laying 'em down. But , if you like the dirty stuff , seek out "The Suitcase Song".
 dave said:

Sounds like a plan, thanks!

James Porter said:

Dave: ALL the Treniers' stuff rocked. "Poontang" was no fluke. Just ask John Battles. However, the album I just printed the link to isn't one of their best. There are other compilations of their essential OKeh/Epic sides, however...

SWT: just about all of Swamp Dogg's album covers were intentionally meant to shock...

Best First Show ever , and the nominees are swt , swt and swt , and the winnner is.....
 
swt said:

I saw Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs at Springlake amusement park in Oklahoma City in the summer of 1965 when their current hit was "Ju Ju Hand."

When I was in junior high in OKC a couple of years later, there was a local band called The Inmates who had an intense Yardbirds fixation and did a vicious version of "The Hanky Panky." They were pretty punk.

I saw The Fall in Santa Fe in 1981 play in Santa Fe in an old movie theater. Before the show I got to interview Mark E. Smith, who told me The Fall wasn't punk rock. He was right but he was wrong.

...That sounds like Dahl and Meier. Thank God nothing on my stereo sounds like Dahl and Meier. I Was just as Anti - Disco as the best of 'em , but, When I heard The Loop (WLUP FM ,The station that sponsored The Disco Demolition.) in1979 for the first time , I thought , they're really no better, maybe even not as good as , the three Rock Titans in the Dallas /Ft.Worth area , KZEW , Z97 and Q102.....and of the three , KZEW produced ONE great show , George Gimarc's Rock'n'Roll Alternative , in the early 80's. Even Chicago's beloved WXRT ,which SUCKS!!!!! now , had Bobby Skafish and Terry Nelson playing the records Gimarc would soon , just not soon enough , get to play on one of the worst time slots in town , Sunday at 11:00PM.  If you were in Jr. High , or even in early HS years , you probably did'nt get to hear it. Kids did'nt stay up all night in our day.

I don't know too much about what Michael Draine mentioned but they sound great but I too would have mentioned anything with the Cramps stamp of approval.  And Howie's show also comes highly recommended.

well, that is my extreme specialty, something i have been collecting since the 70s and something i feature heavily (but not solely) on my long time radio show, oddly enough called INTOXICA! Here's a link to my archive of some old shows where you can hear many hours (weeks!) of this type of stuff (plus garage, frat, rockabilly & lotsa more, with guests and other surprises...). I have been doing the show for 7 years & have a big following of crazed collectors...

enjoy!

There are some great pre-Surf instrumentals on THE CRAMPS JUKEBOX and SONGS THE CRAMPS TAUGHT US 1-3, on the STRICTLY INSTRUMENTAL series, the GREASER INSTRUMENTALS series, INSTRUMENTALS FOR GREASERS, the THAT'S SWIFT instrumental compilation, BRIGHT LIGHTS by Wade Curtiss & The Rhythm Rockers, and “Take It off” by The Genteels  (on I BELIEVE IN MUSIC by the Gross Prophet).

The Ramones will be relevant as long as there's an interest in Rock and Roll.

They're the history of R&R, sped-up and pulped down to 3 minutes.
